That was important for us to get going, conference-wise. (Burks) did a good job of keeping us off-balance, but we got more intense. Coming into it, we were not really as intense as we should have been.

Trent threw about like he always does. He kept us in the game until our bats were ready. I'm very pleased with his performance.

I see us on the threshold of a great economic boom in most of our markets. I see our balance sheet growing. I see viable loans grow. I see customers who have taken it on the chin get right back up and are going to work.

[We need to] take care of the ball. There was nothing that they did that really forced us into turnovers. We just have to do a better job of executing and knowing where we get our shots from and who's taking those shots.

That was a momentum swing for us. We gave up three interceptions ourselves, but were able to build some morale and get things going our way.

We felt like back in October and November, that we wanted to go into the last week of the season and it mean something to us. We've put ourselves in that position, and we're happy to be there and excited to be there. We're looking forward to next week. It's a big week for us.
